A Cottaging We Go

Every year, at the end of August, we head to Prince Edward County for a week at the cottage with our neighbours.  It's a great time for relaxing and enjoying the county.  

One of our regular stops is for lunch and cider at the County Cider Company in Waupoos. This year I enjoyed a pear cider and super yummy salad.  You also can't beat the view!  There is nothing like eating lunch overlooking the grape vines and lake.

The Devil's Wishbone Winery is another yearly tradition.  We happened upon this winery 3 years ago and have been back every year since.  Not only is the view amazing here as well, but their wines are fantastic.

This year, we also ventured to Sandbanks Provincial park to hit the beach for the first time.  It was super windy but the kids didn't mind.  It meant lots of waves to jump!

Of course, I also spend some time knitting!  I may have over estimated my knitting time however.  I brought a ton of yarn somehow thinking (or hoping) I would knock out a few hats and perhaps even start a blanket.  I managed half a hat. :)

Start on a hat

The rest of the yarn I brought and didn't need

While I didn't get much knitting done, I did manage to eat through a great book (The Rosie Project) in just two days.  I also finished a bunch of course prep for the classes I'm teaching this fall.  Along with some county travels, photography and family time.

One more day of summer then back to the routine of the school year.....

Happy long weekend!
